Man Tells Court ''My Wife Is A Thief,She Stole My 350k''

A 42-year-old businessman, Livinus Uwa, has told an Igando Customary Court in Lagos that he married a thief.

Uwa made this known when he testified in his divorce petition against his wife, Chineye, on Wednesday in Lagos.
He urged the court to dissolve his four-year-old marriage to Chineye because of her penchant for stealing his money in the wardrobe.

“I married a thief, on several occasions, my wife stole my money from my wardrobe, rendering me broke. The last time she burgled my room and stole N350, 000.

“I reported the theft at the police station and she confessed to the theft, but the money was not recovered,
“I have reported all her attitudes and stealing habits to both families, they called her but she refused to change,’’ he said.

The petitioner accused his wife, who failed to appear in court after several summonses of abandonment, adding that since they married, Chineye had been appearing and disappearing.
“When she was pregnant, she left the house to an unknown place and came back after she was delivered of the baby.

“She abandoned our baby when she was 10-month-old; I have to engage a baby sitter to take care of her. When the baby was two years, I enrolled her in school and my wife reappeared,’’ he said.

He described his estranged wife as a lazy and dirty woman, adding that “Chineye is lazy, she cannot cook, wash or sweep and I do the house chores.

Uwa pleaded with the court to dissolve the marriage, since he could no longer condone her stealing habits, adding that he was no longer in love with her.

In his judgment, President of the court, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, dissolved the marriage.

Omilola held that it was obvious from available testimony and the respondent’s refusal to appear in court that the marriage had hit the rock.

He said throughout the duration of this case, the respondent refused to honour court summon, adding that the court had no other choice than to dissolve the marriage.
“The marriage between Livinus Uwa and Chineye Uwa is hereby dissolved from today, both parties are no longer husband and wife, they are free to go their separate ways without any hindrances and molestation,’’ Omilola said.

This reminds of a woman that steals lots of her husbands money to the extent she will be the one accusing and punishing their house helps at a point they turned the story that is a spirit that takes the money. She later confessed when the matter go to their pastor and they prayed for her. I think she has stopped stealing

There is always a benefit of doubt. She should have appeared before the judge and state her own side of the story. And even though the marriage may eventually be dissolved at least it would be on record that she defended her actions. This just makes her look very guilty

Eeboh women, very shameless lot.Next time she will carry gun sef, anything for money.The man shld ask for DNA test for that baby, it probably isn't his.I know d women here will support her, calling the man stingy. Why did she settle for stingy man. Did they not court at all ?

I know of a man who divorced his wife without the wife knowing about a case against her. He sent her to her parents,married another woman traditionally and divorced the first one in court without her knowledge. So the court concluded that the wife didn't answer any of the summons.

Oga, pls take this advice as you move on, it will go a long way in your next marriage if you decide to remarry.In the school of marriage 1+1=1 not 2. Whatever belongs to you equally belongs to your wife however she was wrong to have stolen it rather than asking, but would you have given her if she asked?

We can't concluded with his own side of the story. We need to hear the woman's complain before judging. But wait ooo! While reading I noticed the man kept emphasizing on the "MY MONEY", abi them say wen man and woman marry, they become one? So it is "THE MONEY" na. Lolzzz zzz. When he talked about baby he said "OUR BABY" but when e reach money him say "MY MONEY". mumu man.

Anony 10:26 and 13:54 did you hear her side of the story. Na wa for you people o! You hear from one person and you believe it is the whole truth eh! That is how men will keep deceiving you all in the name of "he said it". Nonsense and ingredients!!! Children that think they are grown
